Hi Kalyn. I'm so glad you did this roundup - now I can indulge my chickpea obsession. Thanks for posting my recipe. Chick pleased (boom-tish).

Cute Title!

Hi Kalyn! Thanks for the mention. I love chickpeas and will have to scoot around to all these blogs to check out the recipes.

Jenna, good tip about chewing carefully. It made me think of a tip for using canned chickpeas.

If you're using canned chickpeas, rinse them very well (until absolutely no foam shows) and it will decrease the undesirable side effects of eating beans quite a lot.

Sam, give them a try. BTW, it was interesting that Elise and I both found and posted the same Garbanzo and Tomato salad from Sunset magazine.

Can you tell I am trying to emulate your headlines? I think "Beet it, Beet it" may be one of your best headlines yet!

Now I'm craving hummus. Big time. Mmmm. Mouth watering.

THAT said, be careful while eating chickpeas. We know they're good. We know you love them. But chew them first, folks. DO NOT ASPIRATE THEM. My Husband, a fire/medic, was called to Ruby Tuesdays a few years ago for a choking man. Turns out he sucked one of those babies right down into his lung. Yikes. I'm always extra careful now when I eat A MOUNTAIN of chickpeas on my salad.

Oh, yum.

I am not the biggest bean fan in the world, but I think your post might help me change my mind.

Whether you call them garbanzos or chickpeas, there are a lot of delicious offerings that can be made from this humble bean.

To get you started, the lovely Indira of Mahanandi
